- Distortion: a change for the worse
- Alteration in the shape or dimensions of an object as a result of the application of stress to it
- Contortion: the act of twisting or deforming the shape of something (e.g., yourself)
- (deformational) relating to or causing change in either shape or size of a material body or geometric figure
- (deform) make formless; "the heat deformed the plastic sculpture"
- (deform) contort: twist and press out of shape
- In materials science, deformation is a change in the shape or size of an object due to an applied force. This can be a result of tensile (pulling) forces, compressive (pushing) forces, shear, bending or torsion (twisting). Deformation is often described as strain.
- Strain, or deformation, is the response of a sample of a solid material to an external or internal stress.
